Estimation of the noncentrality matrix of a noncentral Wishart distribution with unit scale matrix. A matrix generalization of Leung's domination result.

Heinz Neudecker (2004)

SORT

The main aim is to estimate the noncentrality matrix of a noncentral Wishart distribution. The method used is Leung's but generalized to a matrix loss function. Parallelly Leung's scalar noncentral Wishart identity is generalized to become a matrix identity. The concept of Löwner partial ordering of symmetric matrices is used.

Étienne Bézout : analyse algébrique au siècle des lumières

Liliane Alfonsi (2008)

Revue d'histoire des mathématiques

Le but de cet article, à travers l’étude des travaux en analyse algébrique finie d’Étienne Bézout (1730-1783), est de mieux faire connaître ses résultats, tels qu’il les a effectivement trouvés, et de mettre en valeur aussi bien les points de vue novateurs que les méthodes originales, mis en œuvre à cet effet. L’idée de ramener le problème de l’élimination d’une ou plusieurs inconnues à l’étude d’un système d’équations du premier degré, son utilisation inhabituelle des coefficients indéterminés...

Evaluation of divisor functions of matrices

Gautami Bhowmik (1996)

Acta Arithmetica

1. Introduction. The study of divisor functions of matrices arose legitimately in the context of arithmetic of matrices, and the question of the number of (possibly weighted) inequivalent factorizations of an integer matrix was asked. However, till now only partial answers were available. Nanda [6] evaluated the case of prime matrices and Narang [7] gave an evaluation for 2×2 matrices. We obtained a recursion in the size of the matrices and the weights of the divisors [1,2] which helped us obtain...

Examples Illustrating some Aspects of the Weak Deligne-Simpson Problem

Kostov, Vladimir (2001)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

Research partially supported by INTAS grant 97-1644We consider the variety of (p + 1)-tuples of matrices Aj (resp. Mj ) from given conjugacy classes cj ⊂ gl(n, C) (resp. Cj ⊂ GL(n, C)) such that A1 + . . . + A[p+1] = 0 (resp. M1 . . . M[p+1] = I). This variety is connected with the weak Deligne-Simpson problem: give necessary and sufficient conditions on the choice of the conjugacy classes cj ⊂ gl(n, C) (resp. Cj ⊂ GL(n, C)) so that there exist (p + 1)-tuples with trivial centralizers of matrices...

Existence and construction of two-dimensional invariant subspaces for pairs of rotations

Ernst Dieterich (2009)

Colloquium Mathematicae

By a rotation in a Euclidean space V of even dimension we mean an orthogonal linear operator on V which is an orthogonal direct sum of rotations in 2-dimensional linear subspaces of V by a common angle α ∈ [0,π]. We present a criterion for the existence of a 2-dimensional subspace of V which is invariant under a given pair of rotations, in terms of the vanishing of a determinant associated with that pair. This criterion is constructive, whenever it is satisfied. It is also used to prove that every...
